Washington State now taxing mail orders 10%

[Frogger]

I just made a purchase from Bulk Reef Supply and they charged me 10% sales tax on a shipment I had sent to my PO box in Blaine. It is now a new requirement that all out of State mail orders are taxed in Washington.

It is really not worth having it shipping to Blaine when I can have it shipped from Bulk Reef Supply (taxes, brokerage fees etc.) to Canada for 18%. Saves me having to drive down to the States and still have to claim what I bought at the border.

Based on the difference in the dollar and great prices here in Canada there is not much value in ordering from the US anymore.

Had no choice for this purchase wanted the Clearwater Algae Scrubber and no one in Canada can get it in.
